"Behind this mask there is more than just flesh.Beneath this mask thereis an idea… and ideas are bulletproof."&#8213; Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

Call for Papers:This inter- and multi-disciplinary conference aimsto examine, exploreand critically engage with issues in and aroundthe production, creationand reading of all forms of comics and graphicnovels. Taken as a formof pictographic narrative it has been with ussince the first cavepaintings and even in the 21st century remains ahugely popular, vibrantand culturally relevant means of communicationwhether expressed assequential art, graphic literature, bandesdessinees, tebeos, fumetti,manga, manhwa, komiks, strips, historietas,quadrinhos, beeldverhalen,or just plain old comics. (as noted by Paul Gravett)

Whilst the form itself became established in the19th Century it isperhaps not until the 20th century that comic bookheroes like Superman(who has been around since 1938) became, not justbeloved characters,but national icons. With the globalisation ofpublishing brands such asMarvel and DC it is no accident that there hasbeen an increase ingraphic novel adaptations and their associatedmerchandising. Moviessuch as X-men, Iron man, Watchmen and the recentThor have grossedmillions of dollars across the world and manytelevision series havebeen continued off-screen in the graphic form,Buffy, Firefly andFarscape to name a few.

Of course America and Europe is not the only baseof this art form andthe Far East and Japan have their own traditionsas well as a hugeinfluence on graphic representations across theglobe. In particularJapanese manga has influenced comics in Taiwan,South Korea, Hong Kong,China, France and the United States, and havecreated an amazing arrayof reflexive appropriations and re-appropriations,in not just in comicsbut in anime as well.

Of equal importance in this growth and relevanceof the graphic novelare the smaller and independent publishers thathave producedinfluential works such as Maus by Art Spiegleman,Persepolis by MarjaneSatrapi, Palestine by Joe Sacco, Epileptic byDavid B and even JimmyCorrigan by Chris Ware that explore, often on apersonal level,contemporary concerns such as gender, diaspora,post-colonialism,sexuality, globalisation and approaches to health,terror and identity.Further to this the techniques and styles of thegraphic novel havetaken further form online creating entirelyweb-comics and hypertexts,as in John Cei Douglas' Lost and Found and ShelleyJackson's PatchworkGirl, as well as forming part of largertrans-media narratives andsubmersive worlds, as in the True Blood franchisethat invites fans toenter and participate in constructing a narrativein many varied formatsand locations.

This projects invites papers that consider theplace of the comic orgraphic novel in both history and location and theways that itappropriates and is appropriated by other media inthe enactment ofindividual, social and cultural identity.

Mapping the field of the erotic is a complex andfrustrating endeavour; as something whichpermeates lived experience, interpersonalrelationships, intellectual reflection, aesthetictastes and sensibilities, the erotic is clearlymulti-layered and requires a plethora ofapproaches, insights and perspectives if we are tobetter to understand, appreciate and define it.

This inter- and trans- disciplinary project seeksto explore critical issues in relation toeroticism and the erotic through its history, itsemergence in human development, both individualand phylogenetic, as well as its expression innational and cultural histories across the world,including issues of transgression and censorship.The project will also explore erotic imaginationand its representation in art, art history,literature, film and music. These explorationsinevitably touch on the relationship betweensexualities, gender and bodies, along withquestions concerning the perverse, fetishism andfantasy, pornography and obscenity.

Papers, presentations, workshops and pre-formedpanels are also invited on any of the followingthemes:

* the erotic and identity * disability, ethnicity, gender, class anderoticism * the erotic in education and the education ofthe erotic * eroticism in popular culture and media:cinema, tv, theatre, radio, newspapers andmagazines, the internet in all its forms * the erotic in literature and on the screenexploitative eroticism, e.g., pornography * the erotic, ethics and philosophy theeroticised (or de-eroticised) body * absence, control and excess of the erotic * the erotic and sexuality: is there adifference, and if so, what? the erotic inrepresentation * the erotic and (post- neo-)colonialism * eroticism in the making of the exotic * the erotic in mythology * the erotic and the non-human (vampires,zombies, cyborgs, etc) * eroticism and technology: sex toys and otherturn-ons

This project will run concurrently with ourproject on Monsters and the Monstrous – we welcomeany papers considering the problems or addressingissues on Monsters and The Erotic for a cross-overpanel. We also welcome pre-formed panels on anyaspect of the monstrous or in relation tocrossover panel(s).We welcome submissions from within specificdisciplinary boundaries, but we are alsoparticularly interested in interdisciplinarycontributions that balance the scope of insightthat disciplines bring with the limitations thatdisciplinary boundaries create in failing torecognise cross-disciplinary connections, whichneglect important historical and culturalperspectives on the development of the 'erotic' asa locus of attention. Consequently, we areparticularly keen to encourage submissions thatare not subsumed within disciplines, but cutacross and between disciplinary vocabularies toprovide new synergies, domains andinter-disciplinary possibilities. We warmlywelcome proposals which go beyond traditionalpaper presentations and encompass also panels,performances and workshops.
